She was signaling me with her eyes
I walked over to be introduced
I said, "Hello", she just smiled
And said, "I know a place
Not too far from here
We could get away for a while"
Yeah, that's when she kissed me
And told me her name
I never did tell her mine
{Chorus}:
Magnolia
I remember the smell
Of the wind through the suite
Magnolia
And I know that she's out there
Somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Well her lips were as warm
As that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud
Just what I'd done right
As I lay there, with her by my side
Then she took hold of my hand
As she looked up at me
And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"
And there in the moonlight
As I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside
{Chorus}
From a table across the room She was signaling me with her eyes I walked over to be introduced I said, "Hello", she just smiled And said, "I know a place Not too far from here We could get away for a while" Yeah, that's when she kissed me And told me her name I never did tell her mine {Chorus}: Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the suite Magnolia And I know that she's out there Somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia Well her lips were as warm As that wet southern night Her eyes were as black as the sky And I wondered aloud Just what I'd done right As I lay there, with her by my side Then she took hold of my hand As she looked up at me And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye" And there in the moonlight As I watched her leave I felt a chill down inside {Chorus} Explain Request ×
